Comic Book Talk Thread

Yes that's right, I'm starting it and I'll fucking bump the shit out of it if I find out any info on shit going down regarding comic books either in print, on TV, or on film. This ain't geek talk, fuck that, you don't have to be a geek to appreciate comic books. So, let's fucking do it!

Not fucking feeling it, the outfit looks idiotic (even though I like the design). It'll come off more like The Shadow or The Phantom than Iron Man, which is fine, but Cap is supposed to exist in the same world as Iron Man, and I don't see how that'll make much sense. Imagine trying to get Nolan's Batman into the same world as Singer's Superman from the 2006 movie. Shit wouldn't seem right, Batman is too "realistic" while Superman is a fantasy character.

I've never read a comic book in my life but thanks to some of my friends, I actually have a fairly respectable knowledge of the DC and Marvel worlds.

Robin is Batman's son, right?

The current one, yes. I didn't read the books where it was all laid out, but Batman is "dead" (read: transported back in time and making his way back to present day but believed to be dead), Dick Grayson took over as Bats, and some crazy karate kid Bruce had with Ra's Al Ghul's daughter Talia is now Robin. Not sure what Tim Drake (Robin III) is doing, but I think he's rocking the Red Robin costume, while Jason Todd (Robin II, who was beaten to death by the Joker and resurrected by Superboy Prime punching the walls of reality) is the Red Hood. I think. Someone fix me here...
